Apprentice Patches (Plaid)

And now ............(drum roll)........ the New, Improved PLAID
APPRENTICE PATCH!

Sea Scouts - are you bored with those dull, drab plain white background
Apprentice patches you used to wear on your summer white
uniforms?

Well, don't despair! Land Scouts to the rescue! Here comes
the multi-color PLAID Apprentice patch from those same, creative, friendly
folks at BSA National Supply Division who brought you the ROBIN'S EGG BLUE
Apprentice patches for your Navy blue (black) Service Dress Blues.
Yes, it's hard to believe, but BSA National Supply has scored another
marketing triumph. Not only does the new, improved PLAID APPRENTICE
PATCH have a plaid backing that shows through when viewed from the front,
this super duper patch also has a gummy substance on the back that will
allow you to melt gobs of glue into your dress whites with a hot
iron! So, throw away those sailmaker's needles, tell mom you don't
need her services anymore as your personal tailor, and get one of these
swell new creations today.

As a bonus, if you really want to score points at your next uniform
inspection and set a color-coordinated fashion trend in your unit, sew the
patch on backwards so the nifty BSA SUPPLY logo is right out in front. Why
else would we put it there? Watch the inspector's face turn purple as you
show off your swell new SCOUT STUFF.

And remember, these triumphs of brand identification are available ONLY
through your Official BSA Supply Division. Those dull, unimaginative
folks at Ship's Stores in
Stockton California wouldn't be caught dead selling these these little
wonders - not even to your ship's dog!
